    My week 1 weight loss!

    Yes Bella, really pleased.. I had to start on step 2 because of high BMI, and then went on to SS/SS+ the next week. I tend to do SS+ on Gym days, just so I have a little extra calories to burn off!!

    Weightloss and totm

    I hope it don't make that much different. My totm arrived on the 2nd day & it's still here on day 15!!! (I have the Implant) so I think the diet has affected the hormone imbalance.

    Inspiration for All Cambridge Diet Followers

    Well done - truly amazing..... Im not going on holiday until October time when hubbi back from Afghan for good, so hopefully would have lost loads by then.

    What made you decide to lose weight?

    Its my 40th birthday in August & thats the main reason to lose the weight. I am finding it easier (a re-starter!!) since hubbi went off to Afghan, so hoping in 11 weeks time when he comes back on R&R there will be a real noticeable difference.

    What time to you stop drining water on WI days?

    Im getting weighed at 2.30 today and have just been havin little sips of water all morning rather than the massive gulps. Leaving my shake till after weigh in. I cant help feeling that this is getting a little obsessive though!!!!

    week 2 weigh in

    Well done to you!! My 2nd weigh-in is at 2.30 today and Im really bothered because my scales dont seem any different.
  113. BKC1969

    I know it comes up over and over...

    Before the diet I was addicted to full fat coke, drank at least 6 cans a day..... I have just started to have just 1 can a day (coke zero), kept in the fridge and sips every now and then, between the litres of water of course. It's never kicked me out of the K state (and I pee on the sticks...

    Im 40 in August, but still feel like im in my twenties. I live with hubbi, & kids 13 & 5 years. My hubbi is ten years younger than me, and keeps me young!!!!! (well, when he is here:cry:)
  115. BKC1969

    What is your special target?

    Hi everybody - Im 40 in August, so my goal is to be 5 stone lighter by then... My husband is back from Afghan on leave in exactly 13 weeks from today, and would love the weight loss to make a big difference to the way I look by then. I would love to see the shocked look on his face!!! He...

    With CD brings rubbish sleep???

    I was not a great sleeper before starting CD, unless it was alcohol induced.... But have found getting off to sleep so much easier lately. Now I make sure I do one task in the evenings on top of the routine stuff, to get me tired out rather than sit and watch TV.. Like clearing a cupboard, or...
  125. BKC1969

    Water??

    As I am normally a full fat coke addict, I have started to drink the fizzy water and thats my new addiction now... Only 12 pence for the Tesco Value 2 ltr bottle. I have one of them and some normal water in between every single day. Then normally a hot veg drink near bed time.
  126. BKC1969

    now or wait?

    I would start now!!! You could lose a stone before yr holiday and then as you have done so well put on only a couple over yr holiday. Obviously it depends on wether you can see a CD Councellor this week. Go for it!!!!!
  127. BKC1969

    Friday will be 12 weeks for me

    Ketone Strips q...

    Hello, maybe u should try having a wee in a old jug first before u dip the K-stick or wear a tampon and that way when u have a wee there wont be any blood present. OMG!! Somethings do get a bit akward to write down in the correct way. Hope this works!

    I am the same waiting for that new found energy....... I am restarting again and have stuck 100% (well apart from a one crisp licking episode earlier - but thats a different story!!!) I had a buzz when I found that I was in ketosis on the Tuesday morning just on the 2nd day. Thought maybe...

    3 months on cd and guess what?

    Well Done Hun, when you 1st start CD, looking 3 months ahead seems like yonks away if you see what I mean. Only 13 weeks till hubbi is back on leave from Afghan - I do so hope I can lose as much as u and give him the suprise of his life!!! I am a re-starter again & again!!!
  135. BKC1969

    Why 15 minutes??!!

    Thats good to no - I have my shakes mixed with lots & lots of crushed Ice. I drink it slowly through a straw and im sure it takes longer than 15 mins to drink. If i rush it it gives me brain freeze....

  139. BKC1969

    caramel or malted toffee???

    I cant wait to try them either!!!! Mrs C - Wow 6 stone in 4 months, amazing. Hubbi went off to Afghan last Wednesday & will have his leave in 4 months time, my god if I could lose 6 stone in that time, I think he would collapse of shock!!! Would be a brilliant surprise though!

    Back on track! but unusual symptoms with it!!!

    I had that and much worse this time around. On day 6 and feeling alot better, but I think of the diet, food, cheating and not cheating nearly 24/7. I was not so obsessed last time but this time its bad.

    How do I get my porridge lump free?

    I like it lumpy & thick, tend to cook it longer than the minute so its sticking to the sides of the bowl and I make sure I chisel those bits off so there is no waste. I find its more filling like that and feels like I have a full tummy.

    Hi, I have just had a phone call from my Hubbi, he arrived this morning and is off to also unspecified destination so Im not sure when we will speak again.

    Hi, Im on day 4 also and am struggling, headaches, period pains the lot. But I have stuck 100% and thats an achievement in itself. Not sure if in Ketosis, I have not had the energy thing so dont think so.

    Easter Weekend

    Im sticking to the diet (hopefully!!!!). Kids are off to Nannys for the 2 weeks and hubby has just gone away, so hoping being on my own, no cooking and spring cleaning the house will help.

    First post on the CD section

    :cry:Purplepixie - Yeah Hubbi off for just over 6 months but should be back for leave around end July. At work today and feeling a bit low and not with it, but started Cambridge yesterday so it could be because of that also.

    Dieting 'makes you look older'

    This is one thing I actually do worry about, I'm forty in August and people can never believe my real age and always put me in my late 20's. My husband is 10 years younger and is off to Afghan tomorrow for six months. I started CD yesterday and would love it for him to come home to a new me, but...

    Q about water flav & bars

    I actually love the Veg drink mix, its a bit like having a weak bovril type drink. But makes a nice change when people are having cup a soups and sandwiches in the office. Watch out though it has lasted me ages and I have just noticed it says use within 6 weeks of opening.
  164. BKC1969

    First post on the CD section

    Im starting tomorrow also, so will look out for your updates on this site. I have two children 8 years apart, thought it would be easier having a big age gap but how wrong I was.
